Surveillance colonoscopy and biopsy are inaccurate methods of predicting the likelihood of ulcerative colitis patients to develop colon carcinoma. We examined uPA and PAI-1 as potential markers for assessing these patients and those with familial polyposis who are at risk of developing colon cancer.
Synthesis of plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1 (PAI-1), a major physiological modulator of plasmin generation, is regulated by growth factors and changes in cell shape. To evaluate the specific relationship between PAI-1 gene expression and cytoarchitecture, serum-free cultures of quiescent rat
